@NewMeKnowYou That’s not a photo from the hospital. It was an old photo of Kile sleeping. I noticed it in a gallery from older posts and added it because he looked peaceful.

NewMeKnowYou

Thanks for the clarification.

stopit

How could you be so insensitive to a Mother who JUST buried her child? You attacked her without even knowing if she posted the picture.This family is hurting!!!I hope the negative post are deleted in case the family want to go online to feel the love (and Im sure SFTA will be one of the first that they will go to)they will not read your post.Why would she care what you think;she dont even know you!UGH!!!!

Tameka,
Stop trying to manipulate our sympathy for your lost thru blog postings… who else would ask to remove a post? You should be mourning not checking to see if your trick worked.You have nooooo Shame. They just increased your child support you have to money to go forward on your sons behalf if those are your intentions….witch

Vay

ICU…you sound sooooooooooo stupid!!! Just thought you should know that.

stlchick

"loss," not "lost." Don’t listen to Toni Braxton lol.

Vay

Folks always looking for SOMETHING!!! Either donate or dont BUT I personally think this is a great idea. I am sure all the haters will start back hating on her soon enough. This could very well be a part of her grieving process that she needs to help her which in turn will help others…give her that!!!

stlchick

Exacly! Naturally she’s turning to this idea to try to make some sense of this tragedy. Maybe she thinks her experience will be a public example of how something needs to be done about that lake. Whatever gets her from day to day.

woop

I concur… there are several water safety organizations.. sounds shady

runtellthat

May God bless Tameka and her family during this difficult time.

Leena Saphora via Facebook

Wishing the Lords peace on the whole family. My heart just breaks for y’all. From London, I’m so sorry for your loss.

STL chick

How quickly the tides turn…

Consider it done, Tameka. I said my prayer this morning, and will continue to pray for her and the entire family.

Im sorry for the lost of this baby….but lets not 4get this what mrs. foster do….Remember "the lost ones foundation” she asked 4 money got it and stopped caring 4 a cause ”soo dear 2 her heart”..the phone was disconnected and lots more. i find it Pathetic she will use.ANYTHING she can to create a legacy for TAMEKA…SMH

Vay

Donating double just because of all the hate…If folks can give to George Zimmerman I will SURELY give to a mother’s cause that just lost one of her sons. There are so many other issues in America to hate on…go pick one or play in traffic…which ever one you prefer!!!

ME TOO!

stlchick

YOU BETTA PREACHHHH!!!!!!!

stlchick

It’s Mrs. Raymond. Foster is her maiden name, I believe.

Huh

Fool me once but not twice, so this is her second charity?? Wtf Sorry for lost but I doubt people will donate based on her track record. Sorry for your loss.

Ps attacking people on their beliefs is so tacky.

Vay

@ Huh…she never fooled you…you didnt even know she had a previous charity lol BUT this is totally different…people came to her asking how they could help this is giving them that opportunity to do so…again or DONT but people bashing a woman who THEY DONT EVEN KNOW is crazy!!ALL we know is what the media put out there so to HATE someone over heresay is very childish. At the end of the day she is very human and going through a very human situation and some people are so "tacky" (your word) that they cant even give this woman the respect she deserves as a mother who lost her child. How do people say they feel hurt he passed in one breathe then bash his MOTHER in the next? I will break someones leg over my mama and I am a grown woman so in honor of Kile how about we leave his mama alone and let her grieve.

Also it’s not "bashing on their beliefs" it’s checking people on unwarraned hate…we have ENOUGH hate in this world and again most people hate her based on what they HEARD…time to grow up people!!! LIFE is short…if nothing else folks should focus on that and get over themselves.

stlchick

Attacking a person who just buried one of her children is worse. Not directing this at you, but it has happened on this thread.

SO WHAT THEY TRYING TO MAKE MONEY OFF THEY SON!? THATS WHAT IT LOOK LIKE TO ME TAMEKA KNOW SHE GONE TAKE THAT MONEY AND GO SHOE SHOPPING. SAD BUT TRUE SINCE WHEN YOU HAVE A FUND IN A PERSONAL ACCOUNT AND THEN HAVE THE ACCOUNT NUMBER ON TWITTER

Vay

ummmmmmm that is the way the bank set up FUND accounts…lol you folks are on one today!!

NewMeKnowYou

That’s the next point I was going to make, she has account info but not even the name of the organization. All she tell us is that it’s for water safety, why not include an organization that’s associated with it.

woop

I couldn’t even begin to think about a fund after burying my son.. disgraceful

stlchick

Well hopefully your child will never get hit in the head by a jet ski and you’ll never had to make the heart wrenching decision to take him/her off life support..unbearable.

the Picture of him sleeping is just tasteless and rubbed me the wrong way…Y should we need to pay for a cause she feels strongly about for her son? Dont mistake my sympathy I still dont trust or like you…..snake

HippyHop

Tameka didn’t ASK you to do anything. She sent out suggestions on where people should send money or gifts IN LIEU OF FLOWERS!

YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

Gossipgirl

WTF is tasteless about the pic?? You must not have any children…I take pics of my babies sleeping all the time. They look so peaceful and innocent….SMH….some folks have so much hatred in their hearts…

Vay

THANK YOU @Gossipgirl!!!!!!!!!!! But why all the hatred and calling her a snake and witch?! Some people are in need of serious mental evaluation forreal. If you dont want to donate then DONT…she didnt ask you to PAY FOR ANYTHING fools!!!! A picture of a little boy is tasteless…#1 Tameka did not post the picture #2 he once had air flowing through his body just like you and I…he is human…he was living…what is tasteless about that?!

As a mother who knows this pain all too well I will stand up for Tameka in this situation all day and night. You dont have to like a person to show them respect.

stlchick

And I got ya back. So sorry you had to endure this. I’ll pray for you too.

Vay

Thank you.

HippyHop

I agree. Clearly they did not READ what Tameka tweeted. She said that she had been ASKED BY MANY WHERE THEY COULD SEND FLOWERS ETC.

So instead of sending flowers she asked for people to send money that will be used towards finding out better ways to PREVENT what happened to her son KILE! What the heck is missing from what is written in the post above? I don’t get it……………………

Vida

R.I.P Kile

If you honestly donate from the heart then you have nothing to worry about. If she misues the funds then its her karma.

You gave to a cause and you can sleep well at night saying you gave. If she buys shoes then I pray for her soul.

Sasha T.

Poor Tameka. She will NEVER get over this. She will always say that she has five boys. Each time she looks at her other boys she will think what might’ve been if Kile was alive. My sister went though a similar situation 12 years ago and that has been her experience. So sorry for Tameka’s loss. God will see her though it!!

HippyHop

Some you you people will burn in the depths of hell for the darkness in your hearts! This woman LOST HER SON through no fault of her own.

HER 11 YEAR OLD BABY! AND TO TOP THAT OFF she had to bury him today. ATLien posted this so that the word could get out about where to send whatever you want to send.

NO ONE ASKED YOU FOR SHIT! SOrry for cursing ATLien but it really burns my biscuits that people who I assume are ADULTS can sit behind a computer and spew so much hatred.

Michelle want to say that I applaud your sensitivity on this matter. While every other news organization in the world is reporting about "USHER’S" Stepson, you chose to focus on Kile Glover and Kile Glover’s Parents (Tameka and Ryan).

God bless you and GOD bless Tameka, Ryan and all of Kile’s sisters brothers & friends who are affected by his loss.

stlchick

Amen!!

Gwendella

Amen!!!!!!!!

MusicB

What is the world is wrong with so many people being hateful today?!!! I really hope all of those who made negative comments don’t have any kids or plan to have kids. You don’t know what could happen where you could be in a simlar situation as Tameka. Some people are just so mean, it’s sad.

stlchick

It’s sad, disturbing, and makes me scared for my nieces and nephews…and thankful I don’t have children growing up alongside others with such disregard for the suffering/concern of others.

Can we all kinda ease up on Tameka today of all days? I mean… she did just bury her son a few hours ago. I’m sure there are some things that were rushed but considering the amount of people hitting her up online and off, I think her suggestion to donate for a cause was awesome.

Who needs flowers when you can put the dough towards research, attorney’s fees etc?? Another person died at the same Lake yesterday so surely there needs to be some safety measures revisited.

And she’s right… her son’s death should not be in vain

stlchick

Another death? That is just aweful. It further explains her reason for setting this up. We as a people used to show so much empathy and compassion when someone lost anyone in their family, but particularly a child. This "keeping it real" bullshit has taken on a life of it’s own and is a cancer to our community. "Keeping it real" and being ignorant is NOT one and the same.

They really need to tighten up at Lake Lanier. The AJC did a piece in the Sunday issue only a week or two before Kile’s accident. In the front page article they mentioned how Lake Lanier is "the wild, wild west" for boaters.

classact

ARE YALL SERIOUS? this MOTHER just buried her baby.TODAY!My bigmama use to tell me stories of togetherness back in her day.WE stuck together ,especially during sad times.They had little money but they cooked food and took it to families after the funerals.For Yall to actually be insulting this Mother and saying the Kile Glover fund is fake,says a lot about who you are.That does not look negative on Tameka at all.If you give from your heart and for the right reason,then youve done your part.God handles it from there.Who are you to judge? I pray with EVERYTHING in me,that yall are NEVER in this situation.My Mother lost my brother at 8 yrs. old,and she has NEVER gotten over it! and that was 30 years ago!!!!!Yall should be ashamed!!!What gives yall the right! Im praying for all of yalls babies to be safe and happy and healthy.Lord have mercy!

Gwendella

Right I’m sure she’d rather have Kile back than that kind of a bank account anyday.

Peaches

I was blocked by Tameka on Twitter so I couldn’t read what the money would be used for and no one said exactly. I do think that the money maybe used for a good cause however Tameka hates my guts so I don’t think she wants my lil money LMBO!

stlchick

But it’s bigger than that right now, Peaches. If you’d like to donate, it’s in Kyle’s memory, not fo Tameka’s benefit. Her tweets are posted on RWS, but the comments on there are absolutely vicious. Of course, that’s because people migrate there from two other sites where the comments are downright vile. The comments people make on other boards are a class example of the decay of morality in our society.

stlchick

Oops! Peaches, her tweets are also posted up above lol.

Ohreally

@Peaches: I am being nosy. How did you get blocked?

Joy

Tameka & Ryan alovely send off for an outstanding young man everything was beautiful except Phaedra Parks prancing around in a dress that was 2 sizes too small.

stlchick

What else is new about Phaedra. She certainly put her spandex to the test lol. I’m glad this young man had a beautiful send off.

Rauisha

I, feel so sorry for her & his father. Never been in her shoes but my son was on his death bed b4 an that’s a feeling u cant explain…I’ve never seen so many ignorant ppl in my life! If u dont want to donate $ u dont even have to say anything just dont do it. If some of these ppl are parents I feel sorry for their children! I was always told sometimes it’s better to be seen….then heard!

Gwendella

This lady took a limo ride today that no parent ever wants to take or anybody else for that matter. I cannot imagine the grief she’s going through because she loves all five of her kids dearly. I applaud her for trying to ensure his death was not in vain. Something really needs to be done about that lake and tubing period while watercrafts are being used. I would not wish what she gracefully endured today on anyone. We sometimes don’t know compassion until faced with things ourselves. My heart and prayers are with Kile’s family and friends.

Ohreally

People need to put aside whatever issues they have with Tameka for at least the next 6 months. Even if you live in Atlanta and she did something to you personally, you need to lay it aside and let the woman grieve. It’s a tragic situation all around, and people are so callous.

Lady shelly

I feel so terrible about her loss and thank you ATLien for trying to get some of these obviously GODLESS folks to reign it in. I have never taken issue with Tameka. So I guess the compassion comes a bit easier to me.

Styles

I don’t think it’s Hate-I truly believe Tameka is Hard to Trust-From conspiring to trap Usher with those two boys back to back-She has a Track record of appearing money Hungry-I think to often Black people use the word (Hate) When we disagree with one another-Beautiful,successful, Inteligent woman comment on these post-That have no reason to hate-The timing may be off-I will agree with that..But, I feel for anyone who dies- No matter who’s child u are-I would never feel comfortable donating money to her- If I was a mother I would close my twitter account- Probably wouldn’t have the strength to log on and even discuss such a matter- I think her timing was off–

stlchick

I respectfully disagree, but I appreciate your tact regarding this delicate matter. From the time of his accident until his funeral, she was on twitter twice; once to ask for prayers and once to make his picture her avatar. Does she have a reputation? Apparently. I’m sure a lot of that was by design, by Usher’s people in an attempt to discredit her should she spill any tea on him…such as him sleeping with two of their bridesmaids. As far as her "trapping" him with children, I’m sure Usher feels blessed to have those kids in his life (particularly now), and it all could’ve been prevented with some latex in a square package.

Vay

How do you trap a HUSBAND who gets his WIFE pregnant TWICE?! I think people get caught up in being a fan and stop looking at the fact that he is just as human and you and I. Now as a MARRIED woman myself I have a 20 month old and just lost my daughter in May while giving birth to her…you do the math on that one!! There is no way in hell I could have gotten pregnant without a deposit from my husband and neither did she. I believe they BOTH loved each other very much at one point but between the media, his FANS, his mama, his lustful ways, and their immature ways the marriage was doomed. I am sure her first husband pays child support (as he should) but this has never been an issue Usher is no different…yes he should pay and YES he should pay MORE because he financially can do so. That doesn’t make her a gold digger she is a MOTHER!!! A mother who owns several businesses…

Now let me address the "she should have closed her twitter" please take this from someone who knows. When you go through something like this the LAST thing you need to do is close off from the world so if it’s twitter, facebook or whatever do it as you see fit. The pain is real but she has other children and you can’t just curl up in a ball and die…you can’t!! If people dont want to donate then DONT but dont HATE (yeah I said it) on the woman for wanting to make sure her babys death is not in vain. When this happens as a mother you need to find purpose…what is the purpose of all this…why MY child…why so young…let me put it to you like this…there is a medical journal being created on my daughter to help heal other babies with her condition since it wasn’t genetic…what gives me peace in the mist of the pain is knowing that because of her little life there is a possibility that other babys lives will be spared…well praise GOD!!! She came and left all too quickly for me but that was her purpose. Some grown folks still walking around here trying to figure out why they were even created!!!

This Lake has had many deaths and injuries and it is time for something to be done about it and with your help or not sounds like Ms Tameka is getting ready to show the world her son’s purpose!!! I commend her for doing this. At some point people will have to face the fact that unless you have had a personal encounter with her (outside of social media) then you are hating based on garbage that you have gotten from the media. Let’s not be gullible! The media lie, TMZ lies, bloggers lie…they have a job to do and some will do it at the cost of TELLING lies!! Until she personally do something to any of us we should take our lips off of her and let her live…I have NEVER seen her (in the media lol) with a bunch of men, sloppy drunk, at clubs fighting, or neglecting her kids. Based on twitter alone (prior to this situation) I found her to be a wonderful mother who adored ALL her kids…
Two things that I realize about Usher…he cant even piss in a cup to prove to the court and Tameka that he is clean…but wants full custody. ANY man that would try to take my child better be ready for the legal fight of their lives!!! Again I to am a MOTHER!!
#2 He also didnt want the nanny that he was paying for to watch Tameka’s other two kids (Kile was one of those kids) so he was NOT that in love with her other kids. A real adult would want what is best for the KIDS not try to divide a household. I am a stepmother and would NEVER do such a thing. I hate that I have to even go here but this woman has gotten it bad just because of who she fell in love with and at the end of the day…it’s really none of any of our business!!!

I pray that she stay far far away from most of the blogs that I have come across…this one by far (recently) has been the most supportive.

Vay

wow I was typing so fast that got really long…sorry. lol

stlchick

But you’re pretty on point with what you said. While I don’t think he was entitled to pay the nanny to care for his step kids (that’s Ryan’s responsibility), I agree with everything else you said. As far as your beautiful daughter goes, just think; in her short life she became a trailblazer. Making a difference!

Ohreally

@ Vay: Thanks for your post. That was amazing. 🙂

Natasha

That picture of Kile sleeping is tacky.

My prayers are with Tameka and her family. I don’t even want to imagine what it would be like to lose my son.

Vay

You are totally right he is not responsible and honestly when I first heard about the nanny situation I thought Tameka was crazy…initally it was just put out there that she kept firing all the nannys. I like most people immediately went into judgement mode on her. It was actually Jamie Foster Brown (a mutual friend to them both) that cleared it up. Usher was requesting that his boys nanny would care for his kids only…ok fine…but he wanted them doing seperate activities and didnt want the nannys to socialize with her other two kids at all. Tameka’s point was this was causing division between her kids in HER home and she was not going for it. I can totally respect that. She had even tried to have seperate nannys for the boys and she felt that was even worse. Keep in mind Usher was never asked to pay more because of the other two boys…he flat out didnt want the same person for all kids and in his house that would be perfectly fine but trying to control what goes on in her house…not so much!! lol

As far as my little one thanks so much!! This journal will be used across the country so I pray that many little lives are saved. I am thinking about starting a support group for parents!!

stlchick

I think that’s a great idea…it’s certainly needed, since a parent burying a child just goes against the order of nature. Please post when the journal is published. I’d be interested in reading it.
As far as Usher goes, he’s "interesting." Always has been lol.

Vay

I sure will!! It will have pictures attached so heads up on that. I wouldnt approve photos of her face just wanted to keep something for the fam plus she looked exactly like my son so had to keep in him mind also but all other photos were approved.

Usher is SUPER talented and sometime SUPER talented people are too much for thier own good!!! lol

stlchick

Usher is SUPER talented and sometime SUPER talented people are too much for thier own good!!! lol

^^^^^^^THAT RIGHT THERE! Of course I don’t know him personally, but I see him as a manboy who still like his toys, ‘cept now those toys are women. Maybe drugs, who knows. But I don’t buy his personality (or my perception of it). I buy his music.
